NABARD’s Role in Rural Development

Subject: Economics

Book: Comprehensive Indian Economy - Additional Topics

NABARD finances rural infrastructure, oversees cooperative banks, and supports innovations like watershed projects or micro-irrigation. It channels credit to agriculture, cottage industries, and small enterprises. Students should link NABARD’s refinance facilities to priority sector lending goals and highlight success stories in SHG-bank linkage. For exam preparation, note how NABARD fosters integrated rural development, bridging capital gaps and providing capacity-building to rural financial institutions.
